So it is a supported hardware.

First of all, update your kernel to the latest version. The kernel ships
with the driver module needed:

After rebooting with the current kernel load the driver with modprobe if
it is not loaded automatically (lsmod shows you).

/dev/video0 is the default video device tvtime accesses, right. That is
no problem. If your TV card runs on a different video device use the
proper parameter for tvtime. "man tvtime" and "tvtime --help" should
always be the first steps.

-d, --device=DEVICE        video4linux device (defaults to /dev/video0).

> Also it says only a particular set of drivers are supported by tvtime.

Don't know. A google search should help. Else try out xawtv which is for
instance packaged for FC by ATrpms.net.
